“The chocolate flavor and dark color in this recipe comes from raw cacao powder, which has even more antioxidant power than blueberries,” says Lisa Hayim, R.D., a New York City-based nutritionist and founder of The Well Necessities. These muffins can be frozen, so feel free to double or triple the recipe.
